The University of Basrah organized a training course at the Marine Science Center entitled “Introduction to Radar Images and Their Applications in InSAR Technology.”
The course aimed to enable participants to gain both theoretical understanding and practical application of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) techniques, contributing to the accurate detection and monitoring of surface changes and ground deformations.
The course, delivered by lecturer Zainab Adel Issa alongside several researchers, included an explanation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) as an active remote sensing technology that transmits precise signals to generate detailed maps of the Earth’s surface. It also focused on InSAR interferometric techniques, which integrate two or more images of the same area to measure surface deformation with millimeter-level precision, such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and land subsidence, by calculating phase differences between returning waves to determine variations in elevation or position.
